* MoralEventHorizon: Race sponsor Angus [=McTeague=] is initially just a guy who wants to win a bet, not particularly likable but not really villainous. Then he responds to Will saving the life of one of [=McTeague's=] own mushers with no gratitude and just some frustration about how well Will is doing before bribing Borg to attack Will.
* TearJerker:
** Will breaking down over his father and having to be comforted by Ned.
** Ned grieving over the loss of Jack Stoneman by himself.
** Gus, Will's lead sled dog, getting hurt and whimpering as Will can do nothing but hope he makes it. Hits especially hard because Gus had an aversion towards Will at first, but warmed up to Will over the course of the race, only for poor Will to almost lose him.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: When [=McTeague=] claps for Will at the end, is he just doing so for appearances, or did Will's final victory merit some VillainRespect from him?


Added DiffLines:

** The BadassNative Carey brothers have very little dialogue but are almost as popular as Joe. They aren't overly friendly to Will at first, but clearly respect him and are pretty skilled mushers.
